Chapter Fifty-Nine: A Loving Little Couple
Everyone in the room looked out in unison.
I saw that the village chief of the Xiao family, who had always been old-fashioned and serious, was running towards the main house with excited and excited steps.
Although Xiao Guofu is not favored by the Xiao family outside, in Xiaojia Village in the mountains, as the village head and head of the Xiao family of hundreds of Xiao family villagers, he still speaks with dignity, and does things steadily and properly, not impetuous.
It's almost impossible for a three-year-old child to get excited about a brisk walk.
But at this moment, not only did it happen in real time, but he was also too excited and surprised to see the people in the house.
He opened his throat and reported the good news: "Grandpa and grandma, it is the Xiao family in the new town who buys chestnuts, and Xiao Zhihai, who has a grocery store on the street, their grocery store wants to increase new business, sell sugar and fried chestnuts, and give us two cents a pound for the purchase price!" Twenty catties can be exchanged for one catty of meat! ”
"The house of chestnuts you saved can be sold for money, and the chestnuts can not only buy meat and rice, but also go to Zhujia Village on the other side of the mountain, and exchange the piglets with the big pig farmers to raise them, and raise the little piglets up, and eat whatever you want, and eat them during the New Year."
"Raising sows can continue to give birth to piglets, and then eat ...... when they are raised" Xiao Guofu's voice became smaller and smaller.
Seeing Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu in the house of his grandfather and grandmother, he was excited and excited, and immediately slowed down.
The excitement and surprise on his face, after being stunned for a while, turned back to steady, peaceful, and walked to the house.
Don't forget to greet Xiao Cheng Bailu with a smile.
Bai Lu also smiled in response.
Xiao Cheng bowed slightly, his face was calm, and after listening to the ins and outs of the incident, he did not hurry to drink tea.
Grandpa and Grandma are obviously used to Xiao Guofu's frizziness, and they also know that he will find a place to sit by himself.
The opening was even more straightforward: "Is it the burnt black charcoal you brought with you yesterday?"
Xiao Guofu's face was panicked, and he explained Li Shuixian's statement when he fried chestnuts with sugar, and 1510 explained: "Xiao Zhihai's family made fried chestnuts with sugar for the first time, but the heat was not well controlled, and the second and third times were already much better."
"So he gave you the charred chestnuts that the pigs don't eat and brought them back as a gift?" Grandma pierced it with a word.
There is also a reasonable inference: "Such unpalatable coke, customers will not buy the second time after buying it for the first time, I see that those coke chestnuts that cannot be sold and are returned are thrown into the stinky ditch by them." After all, they don't have pigs in the town, and they won't feed them. ”
Just feed Xiao Guofu, a stupid pig.
Ah Gong also has eyes that see through everything.
Xiao Guofu felt that the eyes of the whole room were poking at him, making him uncomfortable.
Grandpa and grandma hate people who don't respect food the most, and what Xiao Zhihai and Li Shuixian did is tantamount to stepping on the minefield of the second elder and provoking the bottom line of the second elder's principle.
Everyone is not stupid, he wants to explain in the direction of benefits for Xiao Zhihai and his wife, but he can't find a reason.
can only intercede as a member of the same clan: "Grandma, Xiao Zhihai is also a member of the Xiao family, and he won't know that he can't eat fried chestnuts with sugar, so he gave them to me and brought them back for everyone to taste."
"The chestnuts they sell to the guests are all good, there is no reason to give us it is bad, it should be just fried, and I got it back before I tried it, you also know that it is not fresh chestnuts in season, and the sand pile is also good and bad, maybe it happens that the pot is broken......"
Ah Gong was unhappy and angry at Xiao Guofu's repeated behavior of defending Xiao Zhihai and his wife: "When do you still want to defend them, and when you move to the town, you will be superior?"
"You make excuses for them when they make mistakes, they are all children of the Xiao family, and the villagers should be punished for doing something wrong, and they should be scolded. If they do something wrong, you just close your eyes and make excuses, are they the emperor Laozi! ”
Xiao Guofu was reprimanded speechless.
Grandpa and Grandma and Grandpa Xiao Guofu are brothers, and they have always been a highly respected branch of the Xiao family.
He is kind and friendly to people on weekdays, and he is forward-looking when he encounters major events, and can make the wisest suggestions for his family.
It has always been the most respected, loved and embraced by the people.
Even he, the head of Xiaojia Village and the patriarch of the Xiao family, was able to do his job smoothly with the full support of the second elder.
Xiao Guofu also knew that his own approach was not advisable, and he was a little too much for the Xiao family outside.
He just wanted to find a way out for the Xiao family, who were poor in the mountains and even ate meat was a luxury.
Grandma watched Xiao Guofu and her son play around since childhood, growing up together, how I don't know what he thinks, it is all for the sake of the Xiao family in the mountains.
Grandma originally had a son and a daughter, the daughter married to Zhujia Village on the other side of the mountain, the mountains and rivers are long and difficult to walk, rarely come back, the son went to the mountain to hunt in his early years, and was accidentally hit off the cliff by a herd of wild boars, and died without leaving a son and a daughter.
But she also has a nephew, Xiao Guofu.
The Xiao family in the mountains has to rely on the village chief if they want to get rid of poverty, and Xiao Guofu is too anxious to avoid being confused.
Grandma sighed and said softly: "Ah Fu, we are not unreasonable old stubborn, of course we must seize the opportunity to change our lives and live a good life, but we are not in a hurry to send food to spoil people, if Xiao Zhihai and his wife's sugar-fried chestnuts have not been sold, we will be a waste even if we sell them."
"It's better to sell it to a strong daughter-in-law!"
Grandma changed her words, looked at Bai Lu and Xiao Cheng and smiled kindly: "I believe in Da Zhuang and Da Zhuang daughter-in-law."
"They are all good children with filial piety just like you, and the things they make will definitely not be bad."
Ah Gong also nodded in agreement.
Xiao Guofu was stunned by his grandmother's sudden words, and looked at Xiao Cheng, who sat calmly and calmly, and really couldn't really bully Xiao Cheng.
It's hard to speak: "Ah, grandpa, grandma, you are talking about him...... She...... Big ......"
"Fauber."
Bai Lu opened his mouth, smiling, and kindly took over the conversation for Xiao Guofu: "We also buy chestnuts."
Xiao Cheng still drank tea calmly, unhurriedly, as if it was none of his business.
Xiao Guofu was confused, and his brain was a mess when he listened, but he did not delay receiving the most important information.
"You're coming to buy chestnuts too?"
Bai Lu nodded: "It's also two cents a catty."
"This, this is too sudden, why didn't I hear you mention it on the way when I came?" Xiao Guofu was hit by two big pies at the same time, and he was dizzy in surprise.
All the big bullies have been thrown away.
Grandma heard his words but straightened her face, and said sternly: "Today is the Qingming Festival, everyone is returning to their hometowns to worship their ancestors, and the incense has not been given to the ancestors to raise money, are you a beggar in the eyes of money?"
The big and strong couple looked not beggars calmly.
Xiao Guofu coughed embarrassedly, and asked casually, "Do you also sell sugar and fried chestnuts?"
Grandma said coldly: "You don't have to be tempted, the chestnuts fried in sugar are sold first by the big and strong couples, and Xiao Zhihai and his wife can't steal the teacher, so they are fried into coke for the pigs to eat."
Xiao Guofu pig: "......"
